Power Requirement Overview

In order to operate, this system requires two power supplies:

1. The control system logic power is supplied a constant nominal 12v by the 7-way center pin (blue wire) and grounded by the bottom (larger) ground pin (white wire). These connections must be kept in good repair. Chassis ground is not adequate or reliable. The ground connection of the 7-way must have a good connection to the tractor ground.

2. Pump motor power and ground are supplied via a heavy gauge high current Shurco 2 pin connector at the front the trailer. Tractor wiring kits are available from Wilson Trailer and are the only approved system for powering this unit. Note: Previously installed cab wiring kits for powering Shurco power tarp or trap openers use the same connector but do not supply adequate power to operate the unit when loaded.It is possible to retrofit these tractor systems. (Contact WTC service for details.) The cab wiring kit must be installed per instructions (including the Master Disconnect Switch and 120 amp slow-trip circuit breaker module). The installation should use sufficient cable to comfortably reach components and support maintenance, but avoid coiling up excess as any extra cable length reduces power available to the motor. Chassis ground is not adequate or reliable, ensure that the ground cable is connected to a tractor battery cable. All high power connections need to be kept in good repair. For maximum door opening force, the trap should be operated with the tractor running.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Notes About Oil

• Hydraulic oil must be kept clean and dry to work correctly. Contamination causes wear and can cause valves to stick. Do not remove fill plug without cleaning the area around the hole. In wet conditions use a rag to wipe excess water off the top of the plug and reservoir before operating traps.

• For oil to go out to the cylinders air needs to be allowed to enter the reservoir through the fill plug vent. Keep the top of the reservoir clear of debris and wipe clean often. Remove fill plug and clean vent as needed.

• Correct oil must be used for acceptable performance and system life. Oil must be mineral based with a viscosity and must be between 10 and 100 cSt (mm^2/s) at ambient outdoor operating temperatures. Oil thinner than 10 cSt will damage the pump. Oil thicker than 100 cSt will reduce power available to open traps and can cause the power breaker to trip. Your system is supplied pre-filled with Petro-Canada Hydrex MV Artic 15 hydraulic fluid, which should give good performance from -20 to 120º F (-30 to 50º C) for operation outside this temperature range, or with other fluids, consult with Wilson Trailer Co. Service department.

Potential Issues & Resolution Procedures

No traps operate with remote or switches on the side of the trailer.

Locate the receiver (small black box with an antenna). Does the red light in the upper corner flash on and off?

If nothing lights up:• Check for 12v on the center pin of the 7-way

connector to the front of the trailer.• Check that the ABS system is getting power. The ABS

light at the rear of the trailer should power on for a few seconds when the 7-way is connected to power. If ok:

• Check for 12v to the receiver power connection. Follow the in-board harness from the bottom of the receiver to where it divides into several wires. The red wire with a male pin should be connected to a wire that leads to the connection that taps into the ABS power (blue wire) near where the valve control plugs into the harness. If ok:



TROUBLESHOOTING


No traps operate with remote or switches on the side of the trailer.

• Check receiver ground connection. Follow the in-board harness from the bottom of the receiver to where it divides into several wires. The black wire with a male pin should be connected to a wire that leads to a main harness ground (white wire) at the front of the trailer. If ok:

• Connect the receiver power and ground connections (red and black) directly to a known good power source, if nothing lights up replace receiver.

If the red light is blinking go to the next step:

Do you hear anything when you try to operate the traps?

If you don’t hear any sounds:• Check that the purple wire from the receiver to the

pump motor solenoid is supplying 12v when the trap function is pressed.

If you hear a click but no motor noise when a trap function is pressed or released:• Check the high current power and ground

connections from the tractor kit to the 2-pole connector and up to the motor solenoid.

If the pump motor is making a whirring whine noise (indicating spinning up and pumping) go to the next step.

Is there adequate oil of the correct viscosity in the reservoir?• If low add. Repair any leaks promptly.

Is the fill plug vent plugged?• Clean top of reservoir and remove fill plug. Attempt to

operate. If a difference is noted then clean vent on fill plug.


TROUBLESHOOTING

4-4 General Maintenance

Check connections at directional control valve solenoids. (Each double stack of solenoids controls a single trap. Individual solenoids in the stack energize to shift the valve to open or close functions.) Each solenoid connection should have a constant ground (black), and a colored wire (white, blue, brown, or green) that supplies 12v when a trap function is activated.

To isolate the problem temporarily swap solenoid connections on one stack with the connections on the other. Attempt to operate the traps.• If the failure stays with the same trap one of the

solenoids has failed, or the valve is stuck. Remove the nut on top of the solenoid stack and slide solenoids off. Temporarily reinstall them with the top one on the bottom. Do not overtighten nut. Attempt to operate the trap.

• If the trap still fails to go in the same direction as before replace the valve cartridge.

• If the direction of the failure has changed replace the bad solenoid. (A good solenoid can be borrowed from the other stack to verify correct function with a known good solenoid.)

• If the failure moved to the other trap the receiver is faulty and should be replaced.

An individual trap fails to operate in one or both directions with remote or switches on the side of the trailer.

Trap function operates continuously, comes on by itself or one or more switch on the side of the trailer fails to operate a function that can be operated with the remote.

Check for defects in connections between switches and receiver harness. (The connection will be in split loom on the inboard side of the trailer rubrail behind the switch panel.) Each switch is supplied 12v from the receiver Each switch connection should have a constant 12v power (red), and a colored wire (white, blue, brown, or green) for the switched signal (normally open, 12v when the switch is pressed). Replace any defective switches.

Note: These connections must be free from corrosion, individually sealed, and dry. (Individual sealed connections can be bundled together) Seal with appropriate adhesive lined heat shrink tubing after any repairs or inspections that require connection disassembly. Shorts or moisture bridging between red and colored wires may actuate trap functions.
